That is one huge burger. My laptop (ThinkPad T41) is only 5 lb. That hamburger is as heavy as my laptop plus an extra battery. I won't even be able to lift it, let alone eating it.

Opera is a great web browser with a lot of useful features. I particularly like its support for multiple windows within the browser and the built-in popup stopping feature. It is much, much better than Internet Explorer. However, I use IE as my primary browser because it appears that some (in...

OnSpengler, You are a very confident man, I must admit. You were so confident about your fashion sense that you called my ex-girlfriend (who got her art degree from NYU, fashion merchandising from Parsons, and fashion design from FIT, and works for Newman Marcus) a fashion ignorant. I am...

Sorry for double posts. Computer problem.

Sorry for double posts - computer problem.

This post did not make me sick, but made me VERY UNCOMFORTABLE because he was obviously more concerned about showing off than helping us save money. I NEVER thread crap, but am forced to do this time because I feel I am obligated to rebutt OnSpengler's pretentiousness. This deal is NOT hot at...

I HAD TO REPLY TO THIS TREAD. AVOID THIS STORE AT ALL COST. I understand that it is possible to get a good deal out of a shaddy store, but, in general, it is not worth your time and effort. I've been shopping online since 1995, but my experience with the MP Superstore is BY FAR the worst...

Letsgetsilly, No, I don't think you understand. There are numerous hot deal boards out there. What makes this board stands out among those countless hotdeal boards is the vigilant members. Thanks to their efforts, the quality of the posts here is well-maintained and the redundant posts are...

Appopin, As you pointed out, I am a proud junior member. But I dare to challenge your argument, and believe you are actually wrong. You are missing my point. My main point is that a hot deal must be measured objectively rather than subjectively. I am not saying that you can completely rule...

As my proud title (junior member) indicates, I haven't been very vocal at this forum. But I thought I understood rules. According to my understanding, the original post by Raiden is not appropriate for this forum because it does not include any "hot deal." If those "Rocket" speakers were...

I recently bought a 15" NEC BLACK LCD at $298 from Dell.com (shipped without rebate). When you can buy a quality brandname monitor at below $300, buying this monitor with questionable quality does not seem to be a good choice. Just my opinion.

YOU DO NOT BUY FROM MPSUPERSTORE! MPSuperstore was, by far, the worst store I have experienced in my entire life. It was simply a nightmare. Please allow me to share my experience. I ordered a Toshiba Tecra notebook from them. The price was, of course, my primary motivation. The price was...

I will be very careful with buying a 3rd-party accessories for PS2. Especially remotes. It has been known that some 3rd-party remotes could cause damages to PS2, and using a 3rd-party reomote may void the PS2 warranty. I saw Remote made by Sony at Best Buy a few days ago (Culver City, CA)...

tommydn, How did you come up with a price of $119 at COMPUSA? It appears that the price is $179. Please let me know. Thanks.

If you have to choose between A and T-series and the sticker price does not matter, you should definitely go with a T. A-series laptops are made by Acer, and is known to be much less reliable than T-series. Corporate technical support groups do not usually recommend A-series laptops for that...
